Poll: Should Scotland leave the UK?

The Taoiseach wouldn’t answer the question yesterday so we’re asking you today…

ASKED YESTERDAY HOW he would feel about an Independent Scotland, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said he had no intention of getting involved in the situation, adding that he would not “interfere in any way”.

The news conference following yesterday’s British-Irish Council summit was dominated by the question of Scotland’s independence following earlier accusations by First Minister Alex Salmond that Westminster was bullying Scotland.

The parliaments are disputing about when to hold a referendum asking the Scottish people whether they want to stay in the UK or not.

Both the Northern Ireland and Welsh First Ministers highlighted their wishes for Scotland to remain part of the UK.

David Cameron has hinted that Westminster will try and limit any ballot to just one question – to leave or not to leave – despite many Scottish people preferring another choice which would involve greater devolution.

What do you think? Should Scotland leave the UK?
